Is it just me or has this been an exceptionally long winter? Don't get me wrong, I have loved all the snow on the ground, the hot cappuccinos, and those blustery winter days; but now that we saw the temperatures rise above forty degrees for a few days I have spring fever. And this is going to be a very busy year! So in preparation I'm spending time in the studio learning new techniques and refreshing my inventory. Putting away the dark colors and bringing out the light. Here is a look at what I've been learning:

I've always wanted to learn the traditional way to knot pearls on silk string, and let me tell you, it is quite an art! I am excited about giving these as gifts for brides and graduates, and having a set myself!

Well, back to the studio, so much more to design and create.

Check the schedule to the left to see where you can find me this spring!
